Jake Gittes Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It was likely right on the bubble for three different categories (lead actress, original screenplay, supporting actor).Perhaps I'm too pessimistic, but based on its BO gross and how it fared with critics' awards I have to wonder how many voters even bothered to watch it. Even if enough did, it's a divisive movie, and very different from Reitman and Cody's past work. Original screenplay might have been a possibility - they like to put edgier movies in there, and the category wasn't too stacked last year - but Theron had to contend with like 20 other actresses and I doubt anyone would have cared enough for Oswalt.

Sims Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Theron could have definitely gotten in during a weaker year (as could Swinton and Olsen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Both Olsen and Swinton`s problems were that hardly anyone saw the film and not very many people liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Saving Mr Banks I think depends on the quality of the film but I could see Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson getting nominations. It'll be interesting how Disney sell it to general audiences because it doesn't sound like the sort of film they would normally do,August Osage County is an incredible play but it'll interesting how they adapt it for film, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sims Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Very, VERY positive reactions to Before Midnight at Sundance. I don't think it's inconceivable that the Academy would nominate it in order to recognize Linklater's trilogy as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a completely unrelated note, is the Coen movie still coming out in 3 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been on a roll recently. Amour and ToL won the Palme. Harvey bought Artist at Cannes and Beasts was screened out of competition there as well.

RichWS Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I feel confident in Gravity, although maybe I'm just hoping they make up for the awful snubbing of Children of Men. It'll probably be the big tech contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
